The actuator includes a swing arm rotatably mounted on a base member; a suspension assembly elastically biasing a slider having a read/write head toward a surface of a disk; and a voice coil motor (VCM) rotating the swing arm so as to move the read/write head to a predetermined position on the disk. The suspension assembly includes a load beam coupled to an end of a swing arm of an actuator; a flexure attached to the load beam so as to support the slider; and a tip-tab which extends from a front end of the load beam so as to contact a ramp that is installed in the vicinity of the disk when the read/write head is parked, wherein a width of a contact part of the tip-tab that contacts the ramp is wider than other parts of the tip-tab.
